JamieThomas Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I've just had a look at Twitter and found out it's solely Michael Stewart's fault/decision that the DUP cretin was on. Thank you for your service Celtic da's. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Patterson Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Was glad to hear that English and Stewart quite rightly voiced their dissent at him being on. He was obvs asked on cos Doncaster or Les Grey cancelled last minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tout P'ti FC Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Novel discussion about Killie winning the league. Taking the Marty McFly method of ignoring the actual day and winding forward 21 years to focus entirely on Celtic winning the league at Love Street and other Pat Bonner stories of yore. Guff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also feel the BBC fall down because they want to show consistency for "both sides of the argument" which results in a greater weight being placed on minority views. We've seen this with the climate change debates, so they will have people debating for and against, encapsulated by Nigel Lawson disseminating his entirely unscientific and bias opinion as being an equally valid counter to the overwhelmingly massive body of scientific data.

Gay man defends lgbt rights shocker. I'm afraid I don't know very much about him or his opinions, the DUPs stance on most things though is usualy neolithic. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 What was the justification for the DUP guy being on? Is he a spokesman for one of their supporters' groups or does he hold some other Rangers-related position? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure @Ad Lib could clear up what that actually means. But he effectively thinks instead of dealing on the matter at hand he'll talk about Rangers in the HoC when time is tight. I bet the Speaker was royally cheesed off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet the Speaker was royally cheesed off. It means nothing in the grand scheme of things, it's intended to make other parliamentary members aware of issues within your constituency that are not related to any bill being passed through parliament (and thus not debated). There is no follow up procedure. It is quite simply, in this case, a complete waste of parliamentary time. Especially egregious at this time. The speaker, btw, shouldn't have any opinion on the matter. I could be corrected here, but there is no official mandate that limits the fatuousness of the point made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Patterson Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Love it how there's two supporters of the motion, Campbell and Scott Benton MP for Blackpool South. Neither are Scottish. What a fucking waste of Parliamentary time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 It's actually a tough call on this one, considering Rangers has gone for the belt and braces approach. It's all under defamation law, but slander tends to involve verbal one off statements. While libel is about making false accusations in print. That's a rough approximation, as you can probably imagine there is a lot of legal arguments to be made around either. I’m pretty sure the distinction between “Slander” and “Libel” is an English law thing and not applicable here. But I’ve been wrong on the internet before and it’s been a long time since I was at law school and I never finished it anyway. Which means my opinion is less authoritative but at least I can’t charge you for it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was Scottish defamation law I was quoting, but you are right to raise the issue as there is a distinction between the jurisdictions.
